Dr Demontig returned to his mansion. He sat patiently, awaiting the knock at the door. His life, to be brought to an end for the crimes he had committed. But that knock never came. Jack had suffered greatly, and his psyche was sent into turmoil. At the hands of Dr Hain Mills, Jack did recover, physically. But his memory of what had happened to him was lost, seemingly forever. His last recollections were of watching his sister walking off down the road and the sound of his mother and father fighting each other at the boarding house. He was never returned home. He and his dear sister, Kate, were cared for by Dr Hain Mills until a family was found for the two siblings. They were adopted by a kind man and woman, named Mr and Mrs O’Malley. The O’Malley family moved to the New World, and settled in a pleasant town on the outskirts of New York City. There, Jack and Kate were brought up happy, educated and loved. Their previous life disintegrated behind them, and a new, infinitely better future was laid out in front of them.
Before long, Dr Demontig realised that although he had gambled and lost, no one was coming to collect payment due.
